The Development of Early Imperial Dress from the Tetrarchs to the Herakleian Dynasty General Introduction The emperor, as head of state, was the most important and powerful individual in the land; his official portraits and to a lesser extent those of the empress were depicted throughout the realm. His image occurred most frequently on small items issued by government officials such as coins, market weights, seals, imperial standards, medallions displayed beside new consuls, and even on the inkwells of public officials. As a sign of their loyalty, his portrait sometimes appeared on the patches sown on his supporters’ garments, embossed on their shields and armour or even embellishing their jewelry. Among more expensive forms of art, the emperor’s portrait appeared in illuminated manuscripts, mosaics, and wall paintings such as murals and donor portraits. Several types of statues bore his likeness, including those worshiped as part of the imperial cult, examples erected by public 1 officials, and individual or family groupings placed in buildings, gardens and even harbours at the emperor’s personal expense.

Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] The Significance of Clothing Imagery in the Pauline Corpus by Jung Roon Kim A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to The Faculty of Divinity The University of Glasgow June 1998 Abstract Thesis Title: The Significance of Clothing Imagery in the Pauline Corpus This thesis concentrates on clarifying the significance of the clothing imagery in the Pauline corpus. This imagery occurs in six Pauline epistles (clothing with Christ in Gal 3:27 & Rom 13:14; clothing with the new man in Col 3:9-10 & Eph 4:22-24; and clothing with the resurrection body in 1 Cor 15:49, 50-54 & 2 Cor 5:1-4). The imagery constitutes a significant aspect of Pauline theology. For the background to the Pauline clothing-metaphor, Part I looks into clothing imagery in the OT, 1 & 2 Enoch, Apocalypse of Moses, Philo, rabbinic literature, Joseph and Aseneth, The Hymn of the Pearl, Apuleius' Metamorphoses, the Roman custom of clothing, and the baptismal praxis of the ancient church.

  • Roman Clothing and Hairstyles.Pdf
    Roman Clothes When they were inside their own houses, Roman men and boys wore a tunic, which was like a long vest or shirt. This could be worn loose or belted or gathered in the middle. Toga Virilis / Toga Pura This was the toga worn by ordinary Roman citizens. It was not dyed, and so would have been a creamy, off-white colour. Toga Pulla This was a toga worn in mourning when someone had died. It could also be worn at a time of personal danger or public anxiety. It was a dark colour (usually dark grey or brown or black) Toga Picta This was only worn by military leaders who had won a great victory and were being given a triumph (procession through the streets) on their return. This toga was purple with golden embroidery. Toga Trabea This toga was decorated with purple and scarlet stripes. It was worn by Augurs (men who looked for signs from the gods which they would use to advise government officials on what they should do.) Toga Praetexta The toga worn by current and former senators(and also by boys under the age of 16). It bears the purple stripe, the width of which varies according to the wearer. Toga Candida The stark-white toga worn by candidates running for office. The English word "candidate" comes from this usage. Other items of clothing Young boys wore a good luck charm called a bulla. Men were not supposed to wear any jewellery other than a ring used to make their seal on wax.

The toga was considered Rome's "national costume" but for day-to- day activities, most Romans preferred more casual, practical and comfortable clothing; the tunic, in Emperors Underwear forms, was the basic garment for all classes, both sexes and most occupations. It was Emperors Underwear made of linen, and was augmented as necessary with underwear, or with various kinds of cold-or-wet weather wear, such as knee-breeches for men, and cloaks, coats and hats. In colder parts of the empire, full length trousers were worn. Most urban Romans wore shoes, slippers, boots or sandals of various types; in the countryside, some wore clogs. Most clothing was simple in structure and basic form, and its production required minimal cutting and tailoring, but all was produced by hand and every process required skill, knowledge and time. Spinning and weaving were thought virtuous, frugal occupations for Roman women of all classes.

  • The Appropriateness of Historic Costuming of Male Protagonists In
    THE APPROPRIATENESS OF HISTORIC COSTUMING OF MALE PROTAGONISTS IN HISTORIC EPIC MOVIES by CLARISSA M. ESGUERRA (Under the Direction of Patricia Hunt-Hurst) ABSTRACT Costuming functions as a tool to nonverbally communicate and manipulate visual identities, especially gender identity; applied to the costuming of characters in movies, the visual identity of a character is broadly amplified to the movie-going audience. The purpose of this study was to examine the costuming of male protagonists in historic epic movies for historical accuracy and how the era in which the movie was produced may have affected the level of accuracy. The Ten Commandments (1956) and Spartacus (1960) from the Cold War era and Gladiator (2000) and Troy (2004) from the turn of the millennia were viewed and comparatively analyzed in light of the American social dynamics of each era INDEX WORDS: historic costume, men’s wear, Ancient Egyptian costume, Ancient Greek costume, Ancient Roman costume, historic epic genre, movies, Cold War, post-World War II, America, turn of the millennia, gender dynamics THE APPROPRIATENESS OF HISTORIC COSTUMING OF MALE PROTAGONISTS IN HISTORIC EPIC MOVIES by CLARISSA M.

  • (NRCE) Study Guide – Advanced Level
    National Roman Civilization Exam (NRCE) Study Guide – Advanced Level By Connor Harrison and José Molina This study guide is meant to be good approximation of the material needed to know for the NRCE exam. It is not meant to be fully comprehensive, but should cover most things that could be asked on the exam for Roman History and Roman Life. This guide is adapted from Connor Harrison’s Roman History Notes and José Molina’s Roman Life Notes. Please note that Ancient Geography, although asked on the NRCE, is not yet included in this version of the study guide. Ancient Geography includes, but is not limited to, directions to and from ancient locations, modern names of ancient cities (and vice versa), and names and destinations of ancient Roman roads. 1 Roman History By Connor Harrison MONARCHY (753-510 B.C.) 7 KINGS - Romulus o Lineage . Mother was Rhea Silvia, father was Mars (the God) Rhea Silvia was the daughter of Numitor, whose brother Amulius had stolen the throne of Alba Longa Romulus and his brother Remus were thrown into the Tiber River, recovered by a she-wolf, and raised by the shepard Faustulus The wife of Faustulus was Acca Larentia o Romulus and Remus . Romulus had a brother, Remus . There was a dispute over where the city would be settled, so Romulus settled the Palatine hill, Remus settled the Aventine hill . According to one account, Romulus is said to have seen 12 vultures while Remus was said to have seen 6, meaning Romulus had superior augury and had say over where the city should be .

  • Roman Clothing
    ROMAN CLOTHING citizen, matron, curule magistrate, emperor, general, workman, slave “Dress for a Roman often, if not primarily, signified rank, status, office, or authority. The dress worn by the participants in an official scene had legal connotations. The hierarchic, symbolic use of dress as a uniform or costume is part of Rome's legacy to Western civilization.” (Larissa Bonfante. "Introduction.” The World of Roman Costume. Ed. Judith Lynn Sebesta and Larissa Bonfante. University of Wisconsin Press, 1994. Pp. 5-6) I. Clothing and Status: Ancient Rome was very much a “face-to-face” society (actually more of an “in-your-face” society), and public display and recognition of status were an essential part of having status. Much of Roman clothing was designed to reveal the social status of its wearer, particularly for freeborn men. In typical Roman fashion, the more distinguished the wearer, the more his dress was distinctively marked, while the dress of the lowest classes was often not marked at all. In the above diagram, for example, we can deduce that the first man on the left is a Roman citizen (because he wears a toga) but is not an equestrian or senator (because he has no stripes on his tunic). We know that the woman is married because she wears a stola. Colored shoes and the broad stripes on his tunic identify the next man as a senator, while the border on his toga indicates that he has held at least one curule office. The laurel wreath on the head of the next man and his special robes indicate that he is an emperor, while the uniform and cloak of the following man identify him as a general.
